To-night's Investi . ..tion,

The investigation into the charges
against Professor Graham, the two lady
teachers who preferred the charges
against him and the committee OF the
High School will open this evening
The gsre:al impression Is that the
charsrs s2aihss Professor Graham only
were TO be inveJagsted, but this Is .
mistake. Tse rssolu ion providing for
sn Investigation includes Misses Pyle
and H,rs and one anyhow, II no. two
OF the committee OF tie High School
that were In charge during the time
that tss trouble has existed. Tnis is Q
Wide rauga OF Investigation, and we
have no doubt that I! the oom mittee Ia
80 mindsd Il ca1 fna ground enough 10
go over to occupy month OF time.
This however will depend entirely pom
the disposition OF the committee to ib-
vestigate and arrive 81 positive conclu-
sions a1d tacss rather than TO go around
them.
Upon the eve OF the inrestigstion
We wouli not say word TO pref udtoe
public opinion. There are q great
RApy runors afloAs shst might be dlshed
up into sensational articles, but We for.
boar to use them. The 90 nmi.tse has
the mater In charge. and 1t should not
% ham eered nor Influenced by last
hour Communication o. appea,s In the
papers To tbs press is laid the charge
OF forcing an investigation, and the
press accepts the CON plimant. The
press, through the fairness OF the Board
oi Eiuos ion and tho inves.i gallon
committee, will be ful y represented o,
the In yestil atlIn. Fir aermore, the
pross will faithfully ST. AID report tie
proceedings. Te press forced the In
vestiga,ion, and he pr-ss will sea TO II
that no unfair sdvautsg. shall be taken
without being fully exposed TO the
public. The press will rely upon the
COMMITTEES to make o foil and fair in
veshgafion, bat II this fails the press
will not fall to do is.
fht Investigation Is to be public, ths.
meaas that every body shall attend who
wants to attend. l. might as we'll be
understood from the ou.s.art that very
few persons can crowd into the rooms
OF the B )srd Of Educstion. There will
be no use TOR q rush for seats, for there
will be no room, the committee, the
members OF the Board OF Education
not on lie commitree, the parties to be
Investigated, and the witnesses in the
case will oil up the room.
DR.. Cbadwick's motion to admit only
the parties we have named and the
press would have been eminensly q
proper one to adepE had 1t not sAvored
OF the sisr chamber order. Although
the investigation is to be public and the
publio invited to attend 1t 10 not ex-
peosed thst the public will TO any greA.
extent attend, merely for want Of room.

OHn, AND ws might soy the great at-
traction Of the Oonssituuoaal Oentsn-
niAl celebration next week as Philsdsl-
rhis, will bs the great military pageant
OF %, 900 men that will march through
the principal streex. Al the head OF
tho troops Of each 6.Ate will ride the
Governor OF that Ssase and his sssf. In
this pageant nearly every State In the
Union will have some representation
and there will also be detachments
from the regular army. In this impos-
ling line Of citizen soldiery, Della wares
N at,onal Guard will be awarded the
right Of the line In Difference TO the
States proud position - being tho hrst
to sign the constitu tion that the oelebrA-
sion honors. We will venture the rs
sertion that no troops In the line will
make Q more creditsble appearance or
march with more accuracy. The f,w-
ing white-hsired Governor riding Ht the
head OF this great army OF soldiers will
do much to imp press the great process
sien with the becoming dignity OF the
occasion. Thls massiug Of tie volun-
teer soldiery OF the nation will be the
great feature OF the procession. The
citizen soldlery, maintained - 1t is,
makes unnecessary the support Of .
large, ex xpensive and sometimes danger
ous standing army. The volunteer sol.
dlery OF the nation " one Of the beet
growths OF the Republic, ard 1t is right
and proper that IL should have . con-
spicuous place 10 the celebration.

From Butte City, Montana.

Mr.. EDIToR-We have been attend
ing a camp-meeting near Stewart, in
Deer Lodge Valley, one of the most
delightful valleys we ever saw and the
spot for the camp ground the choice
spot of the valley. Stewart is about
Is miles from Butte. The valley is
thiclly settled by prosperous and
well.to-do ranchmen, and their beauti-
full residences, fields Of waving grain,
fine shade trees, grassy lawns, brows.
ing herds of cattle and horses, fieecy
iiocks OF sheep, and grunting swine
show their wealth and prosperity,
These ranchmen threw ajar their gates
